Filipinos are ignorant fools

I’ve previously written about how some Filipinos overreacted (more examples, read the responses as well: 1, 2, 3,4, 5,6) at a piece of satire not even aimed at us. It seems everybody including Manong Tambay and one’s local tongressman congressman foamed at the mouth when they read the part about “nation of servants”. The writer, Chip Tsao, was under such pressure from the Philippine warlords-thieves elected officials that at one point, he was blacklisted from entering the country (since he is not a 50 something white male in search of a 20 something Filipina wife, there’s no reason why he should visit the country). Not to be outdone, the Filipina workers in Hong Kong staged their own rally to protest Chip Tsao and his employer. There were a couple of things that contributed to the success of that Hong Kong protest. The Jollibee fast food restaurants were closed that day, and the Wowowee event scheduled to visit the city was postponed. Everything else being equal, having Jollibees nearby and a Wowowee event will lead to Filipinos entering a state of euphoria. Not that day it seems. The angry Filipinas marched and let their voices be heard. Unbeknownst to them, they also proved two things. First, the educational system of the Philippines is of low quality. The people who got angry couldn’t read between the lines. The foolish Filipinos who brag about their Ateneo, De La Salle, and UP degrees (all useless outside the country) and got angry at Chip demonstrated how dumb they are. Secondly, the “controversy” proved that Filipinos don’t have an indepth grasp of English despite the often cited claim of Filipinos having the best English skillsets in Asia.

The whole event demonstrates that either some Filipinos can’t read between the lines or they love to be part of the herd (pasawsaw). I came across this post made by Joseph Dent in the excellent Indolent Indio that explains the matter to the mangmangs (ignorant) who need to be reeducated in Efren Penaflorida’s mobile classroom.

When Tessie Tomas pretends to be a rich matrona in “Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata” and then says outrageous, ridiculous mata pobre things, Tessie Tomas is not really mata pobre, instead, she is exposing the mata pobre of the Filipino upper class. That is how this article works as well: satire. In the article, Mr. Tsao is pretending to be one of these Chinese patriots. He then proceeds to say outrageous, over-the-top, racist statements to show them that the viewpoints of his fellow Chinese citizens are in fact outrageous, over-the-top and racist!

In the first paragraph, he exposes the hypocrisy of the Chinese government when they turn a blind eye on Russia and Japan’s violations (who are big nations), but suddenly become a bully when it comes to the Philippines.

He then exposes what you guys are angry about: that some of his fellow Chinese citizens in fact look down on the Philippines as a “nation of servants”, and that’s why the government is not afraid to bully us. (note Mr. Tsao does not believe we are a nation of servants, he is still playing the part of the proud Chinese patriot)

Now there really is no Louisa. You guys got so angry about how he treated his domestic helper, but she doesn’t really exist. Again, this is still part of the act. When he mentions Louisa has a degree in International Politics and then shows her a map, he is exposing how ridiculous the Chinese are because Mr. Tsao knows that according to the map, the Spratly Islands are in fact close(r) to the the Philippines and according to International Politics, we do in fact have a right to lay a claim on it.

In the next paragraph, Mr. Tsao is actually defending the dignity of Filipino maids. He is condemning his fellow Chinese citizens for their lack of respect and appreciation for their maids who work long hours for them, and showing them what hypocrites they are for hating on the Philippines when in fact they rely so heavily on these upstanding Filipino citizens to keep their households running smoothly.

Then he actually points out that the Chinese are wrong to belittle Philippines given the fact that we have good ties with the USA. Finally, he ridicules the propaganda of his own government back in eh day.

So you see, everything he said here, what he really meant is the opposite. He’s just acting the part of the “racist Chinese patriot”. He is exposing how offensive and ridiculous his fellow citizens and his government are, and the fact that we got so angry proves his point: that how his fellow citizens and his government are behaving is very shameful.

I concur. I foresee a need for Joseph Dent or the Indolent Indio to explain things again pretty soon. If Charice Pempengco’s album gets reviewed by some of the snarky US entertainment outlets, I’m afraid the mob will start demanding blood to be spilled. Nobody gets away with insulting the little goddess.

Please don’t generalize all Filipinos as ignorant fools. I’ve been to different asian countries, have lived there and have personally proven that they are not dumb at all. In many other asian countries, people aren’t able to speak English (clerks in malls, staffs at the airport, even teachers!)

If you have ever been to the Philippines before, you’ll know that even street vendors can converse in English. They may not have perfect pronunciation or grammar, but hey, that’s not their native language. They might not be the smartest of all, but they are very industrious. Unlike other races who are without a doubt couch potatoes.

I have to say, I find Americans and British people even way more ignorant than asians. They still make grammar, spelling, pronunciation mistakes all the time (then/than, their/there/they’re, your/you’re, it’s/its) and mind you, they’re speaking in their mother tongue.

Plus, Filipinos have manners. They respect the elders and care for each other even when they’re not related in any way. I am deeply touched by the hospitality Filipinos have shown me during my stay there, that’s why I feel like I had to say all of this.

all you are doing is showing how RACIST our race is. so you think speaking english is good? those street vender spread cholera among little kids when in other countries (more sanitary ones) some people dont speak a word of english and yet have better ‘manners’ than filipinos, and why are you being such a grammar nazi anyway? being good in speech does not denounce the fact that our race is inferior in every way compared to others, calling other races couch potatoes are you? i bet you didnt even spend a single second finding proof of that and based all your assumptions on stereotype.

It’s kinda hard to change other nations’ views about us with this kind of stuff happening. I hope it doesn’t become a perma label for every Filipino out there. It’s not really fair, you see, for people to generally downgrade us cause of events generated by less than the majority. It’s pretty immature, to put it simply. High school all over again.

Don’t use the sentence, ‘Filipinos are ignorant fools’, because its wrong. Its like you’re saying Americans are black. Chinese owns fake things. etc. Etc. Which is not true. Not all of them are. Yes, most Filipinos are ignorant, I agree. But not all of them are. If you say that, you’re the one whos ignorant. You’re not aware that not all Filipinos are like that.

Shim, you lady boy faggot. Being black is not a bad thing you ignorant punk. You racist banana monkey. Filipinos piss in the street, have crab mentality and are the most ignorant faggots on the planet. Women scams and lie more than they tell the truth. NEVER give straight honest answers. NUKE the place. Thats the only resolution. Look at all those lady boys you have there. Stupid faggot ass flips.

As a Filipino American I have to agree that most Filipinos do suck. I came back to the Philippines to live because I bought into the hype of how great Filipinos are. I lived in the Philippines for 4 years and left. I left because of the PEOPLE. I have never seen so much stealing, lying and bigotry in my life. Most Filipinos “CLAIM” they are Christian, yet I have seen more dishonesty from these “Christians”. And in the south, the Muslims are even worse. Oh they ALL smile in your face. They all act so friendly. Especially if you have ANY money. But after just two or three months here, I learned what back stabbing con artists my people are. Filipino people are their own worst enemy. They do NOT think twice about cheating and stealing from their own. And if they even THINK that the person is a foreigner, they will kiss that persons ass so they can steal from them ASAP. I have seen this time and time again. At the end of WW2 Japan, Korea and the Philippines were in ruins. I use these three countries because I have traveled extensively in all three countries. WHY has Japan and Korea done so well? They make great cars and electronics wanted all over the world. They both have less natural resources than us. But they are in the 21st century, and we are living like it was still 1945. The will of the people make the difference. 98% of Japanese dont believe in Jesus Christ, yet you can leave your cell phone on a park bench and it will be there the next day when you return. True dignity is what Japanese have that we dont. NOT the “stand up and cheer”, fake dignity that I see every day in the Philippines.

Call me a hater, or whatever you want. I am just being real about this. I am saying what most Filipinos say in their homes. All you stupid “I am a proud Pinoy” can all kiss my ass. Is this why so many pinoys want to leave this BEAUTIFUL country? It is more beautiful than any place I have ever been in the US, Japan OR Korea. I dont see Koreans or Japanese lining up to leave their own country.

When the people get tired of their OWN people screwing them, then things will change. But until then, stupid filipinos chanting how great their country is will continue to leave their country in a state of perpetual poverty. A country known for their maids and bargirls. I am sad and ashamed……….

It’s a relief to know that there are others in this country who see the Philippines and its people for what and who they truly are. What you said is right and it’s the reason I’m very picky with friends; It’s a shame that such behavior became good for me to do when in fact, being picky with friends is wrong and bad in nature. I’m afraid of what’s going to take to change the people of this country.

I agree in your comment except that I disagree when you included Jesus Christ (He’s not even a Filipino but a Jew). It’s as if the Philippines became crap because of a Jew? That’s nonsense in its purest form.

I’m a Filipino and sad to say, there’s more in the negative aspects from what you already have mentioned. The country is so messed up that the government doesn’t even know where to start cleaning (they are a mess themselves).

trying to criticize something like this won’t bring you any good. try criticizing yourself before you judge other people. not only Filipinos are ignorant. try including yourself as an “ignorant fool”. Americans are ignorant. Almost all people in this world are ignorant including the one who posted this article and those who agree with the article. IGNORANT FOOLS ,,l,,

you are showing how much more of an idiot you are actually, il show you what your doing in first person perspective…

==========================================================

“oh noes! dis person calls me dumb? ayl call him dumb too on dee assumption dat he iz american becoz of how steryotayp ay am!” -without giving a flying f*ck that the author might be filipino and is disgusted by his own race. try to think before you humiliate yourself

yeah . not all filipinos are ignorant . the one who posted this is ignorant . know why / cause ha makes this blog to let others know that filipinos are ignorant but the truth is , they are ignorant . cause filipinos did not do anything about them but they keep saying that filipinos are ignorant.

as a filipino i hate filipinos who do not adapt and keep with their ignorant stupid outlook of the world as they clamor so hard to their crucifixes kneeling in front of their portrait of white jesus. FUCK FILIPINOS

the author use harsh words, but these words are basicly totally correct. Im not a pinoy…but i was there often…these people (not all there are some really clever and educated under them) do not use their brain. It is simply shut down and they even dont note it. They go into churches ( yes i believe also in god) pray and pray and when they have left the church they do the same bullshit again ..What god would think about that ??? He might think ” aha u pray forgiveness but u do the same fuck each day again, and u want that i listen to u ” ???
The pinoys have a filogic in their head, which makes them to blind monkey and they are totally proud of it. without to note that they are acting like foolish whiners with no balls.

u cant have to the most pinoys an intellect conversation…this is so depressing personally to me…no intellect conversation is possible….u hear only ” YES sir, NO I DID NOT, ” thats all they can serve u….i hate u note because ur a pinoy…i hate that u have not activated ur brains..god gave u a brain…do u find maybe the key to use it one day ????!!!!

i was just in the philippines… went twice, the first time was bad the second time was worse (i went back to see if the first time was just bad luck and didnt want to write it off with just one trip)
1) the food is terrrible , actually enjoyed eating junk food i.e. mc donalds (it was a step up)
in thailand i would never eat at burger king etc since thai food is so good and cheaper.
2) constant noise , roosters (even heard a rooster on the roof of NAIA !), buses, dogs , karaoke etc
3) smoke belchers, even though they have emission tests there are still soooo many smoke belchers !
4) no peace anywhere, people constatntly looking for hand outs and women looking for a “boyfriend or worse yet a husband” but i cant blame them i too would want to leave that nightmare of a country
5) immigration, you can only stay 21 days, mongolia, korea, japan, hong kong, singapore and malaysia allow 90 days for tourists ! PI only 21, but you can extend BUT its a $100 a month for the privelage of paying 12 % vat and feeding half the country. they said last year they were increasing the stay time to 30 days but its still only 21 (who is going to take such a country seriously)
6) foreigners cant own property
7) security and danger , if its soooo peaceful why so many security guards ? for my protection? if its so dangerous, i dont want to be there
8) gasoline and electricity 50 % higher than USA, im right now in Arizona and pay $3.09 a gallon that comes out to 34 pesos a liter in Cebu it was 54 pesos a liter last week and the road sucks and drivers are insane, no respect for the traffic laws ! ohhh and there are constant brownouts (blackouts)
9) the beaches suck , even the USA has better beaches
10) returning to the food, in the Philippines the fast food places were around 50 to 60 % higher than USA prices. dont believe me , compare for yourself. whopper jr philippines 80 pesos in usa 1.19 (50 pesos)
i could go on and on, look i have nothing against the philippine people . im not angry cause some filipina girl broke my heart (if some filipina doesnt like you just wait 10 seconds and you will find one who does) and i was never robbed (thanbk god) but the place is a dump !
why one earth would anyone go visit there or my insane retire there is beyond me . to each there own but its soooo stressful, i want to enjoy my remaining years in peace and quiet and not having to spend my time filling out immigration forms (srrv retirement visa there is 1400 bucks application and 360 dollars a year to renew ) wow are they nuts ? 360 bucks to put a stamp in your passport ? look ill pay 360 dollars a year not to live in the philippines . ha ha . by the way im not some first time traveler, i have us and canadian citizenship and permanent resident visa in chile/argentin/uk and have visited well over 100 countries but to spend 1200 dollars for a round trip ticket and fly half way around the world to go back to a place like that is stupid ! mexico is just 10 minutes from here and if i want to see poverty and misery its much more convenient and the hotels in mexico are cheaper and you can stay 6 months at a time as a tourist ! ahhh but what about the girls ? i can find all the poor homely leaches i want right here in the USA (just go to your local walmart)
the philippines just isnt for me and shouldnt be for anyone who is rational and sane
good luck and thanks for reading my rant

*sigh* I don’t really know about you lots. But the thing is, have you ever tried to be on the shoe of at least one Filipino? Yes, I agree that many of my fellow Filipino are liars, cheaters, ignorant fools and other things you want to say to them. But have you tried to, at the very least, understand them? Or do you want them to lose their ignorance? Because if you do, I’m pretty sure that Filipinos would be at the top ten of the most cynical and pessimistic races. Besides do you even know the sentence, “Ignorance is a bliss.”? Maybe that’s why you are so in the blue, how pitiful of you.

ig·no·rance [ig-ner-uhns]
noun
the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.

YOU SEEM TO FIT PERFECTLY IN THE DEFINITION OF WHAT IS IGNORANT SO FUCK YOU FOR BEING AN IGNORANT FUCK WHO STATED THAT FILIPINOS ARE IGNORANT FOOLS.

IF THE FILIPINOS ARE IGNORANT THEN YOU MUST BE STUPID!! YOU FUCKING IDIOT!! LEARN YOUR SHIT BEFORE POSTING SHIT YOU FUCKING FAGGOT!!

AND BY THE WAY FUCK EVERYONE ELSE WHO POSTED ON THIS BLOG FOR BEING COCK SUCKING LOSERS WHO POST ON BLOGS RATHER THAN FUCK GIRLS. YOU ARE ALL FUCKING LOSERS WHO ARE OBESE AND LOVE CAKE!!! FUCK YOU ALL AND FUCK EVERYONE!

So many people are quick to list as one of their perceived attributes of the Philippines and Filipinos in general: “they speak good English.” I have visited the Philippines several times and I know from firsthand experience with many of the Filipinos that I’ve attempted communication with on a daily basis, most of them have very little skill with speaking English. The typical reaction when I start speaking English to them? Their eyes grow really big and their jaw becomes unhinged and falls several inches down (mouth wide open as if that will help their understanding). This is their reaction and tells you that they don’t have a clue as to what your plain English means. I have traveled to and spent time in a number of foreign countries; I realize that some culture shock is ‘par for the course’ but they will never stop shocking you in the Failippines with their obvious lack of English skills. Do I know Tagalog or any of their dialects well? No, those languages are not my “2nd language.” So when you hear this: “they speak good English in the Philippines” and that is a supposed perk for going there.. think again!!

Epsilon, SSS, Ella, Manny, Monas, Kaz an some others in here are
the dumbest moronic retarded and the most stupidest people
that don’t know shit about anything, Sub Saharan Africa is way worse
than anything in what you see or hear then what you get when you’re in the Philippines and no Monas that title ( ” Kingdom of Thieves “) goes to Sub Saharan Africa.
